    LMAO could you imagine going through all the bad PR then at launch having to address another RROD especially if its due to the DRM. That would KILL the console and I mean literally kill it like the Dreamcast.
    It sold out on Amazon within 24 hours. They just recently put more up the past few days. It's also been sold out of all of my local GS stores for the past several days as well. It's also sold out on GS.com and has been for several days. Sales has nothing to do with it, IMO. Something happened that is causing them to do it, and I can't imagine backlash from the internet being the reason when their console is selling out everywhere. Makes no sense to me.

    Goddamnit.

    I would have definitely loved that. The rest already didn't bother me. My 360 is set to automatically log me into my account and sign into Xbox Live every time I turn it on. And outside of a few sports games a couple years ago, I don't sell or trade in my games, so that made no difference to me. I would have been fine with all of that if we could have kept the family share stuff.

    My best friend from college and I could have actually played some games together for a change instead of constantly having to convince each other to buy one game or another. I've been trying to convince him to buy Halo 4 for a couple months now. Did at least get him to settle for Black Ops 2 though so we could fuck around in Custom Games.

    Good to hear about the Kinect though. That's one more anti-Xbox One point killed, as now people can't bash it due to "privacy concerns".

    At this point, I'm pretty well sold on the Xbox One. Just waiting to hear anything new about any potential overheating issues. If there are reports of issues come September or October, I may cancel my pre-order and wait until at least spring of 2014 to hopefully let them get any issues sorted out.

I've read/heard several reports from retailers that they have 2 or 3 times as many PS4s to sell as XB1s.
    Yea not too many people come to our Best Buy, most go to the Galleria. I didn't even know it was here until two of my friends worked there and got me the job. I'm not sure about the allotment of systems. Hell we don't even know what's going on. They haven't told us anything. I'm not even sure pre-ordering is guaranteeing you a system lol. That's why I got mine from amazon. But I knew Microsoft was behind in production before they or Sony even officially announced they were making a next gen system. There were some reports online that the chip Microsoft used for something was only yielding a 25% usable rate out of production, which is terrible.

    To me selling out of your pre-orders means nothing. I can create a game console, but only give Amazon ten. Once those ten are pre-ordered they are "sold out". Thus giving the image that my console is selling well because you will never know how many actually sold, you just know that it sold out. In essence creating a false demand, creating a hypebeast, to try and get people to rush out and try and get my console. It's simple marketing. Nike knows this all too well. They come out with these shoe releases and only ship out 2-3 in each size creating a huge demand because of the limited supply.

    Nothing is free. It would be rolled into the cost somehow. Try again.

    I believe they announced it with a headset before and they have since taken it away yet the price remains the same?

    Both basic headsets for PS4 and XB1 seem shitty. Sounds like my bluetooth will work on PS4 anyways.

    Link? Or trolling?

    Or maybe they found out a different component was going to cost them more to procure and put the system cost towards that.

    Or maybe they are pocketing the $2 that the headset probably cost to make and are laughing at you.

    Doesn't seem like it was known one way or the other:
    Headsets were included with Xbox 360, but Microsoft is yet to confirm whether or not the new Xbox One, priced at $499.99, will come packaged with a headset. There's no mention of a headset in a list of "what's included" on the official Xbox website, and the inclusion of the microphone-equipped Kinect has been suggested as replacement for the traditional headset.

    YES!
    Which is why I don't care that it isn't included with XB1.
